From The Citizen, Dar es SalaamBy Suleiman Jongo

After the successful establishment of the Muhimbili Cricket Academy some years ago, the Tanzania Cricket Association (TCA), has decided to organise an inaugural inter-regional Twenty/20 tournament to be held from March 7 to 9.

An official with the association, Kazim Nasser, said yesterday that the aim of the event is to promote the sport in upcountry regions and to scout for new talents.

"We need to scout for young talents who will later be groomed for their excellence in local and international ICC events," said Nasser.

He named regions whose teams will compete in the three-day 20-over tournament as Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Mwanza, Arusha, Tanga and Zanzibar.
